Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should one treat a child's sore throat with crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has a low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to avoid aggravating the symptoms due to cold exposure.
